Gearbox needed Hi Guys, do any of you know a good place to get a gearbox for my maverick? Transmission shop will not get a used one for me in case it is a dud, sounds very reasonable he can rebuild mine but may cost over £1,500 worst case lots out there on www from £250 up but I dont want to...

Thanks for the update Labour charges down here are around £50 an hour and as Rick said it would run into 2 days I thought it was a fair price without all the travel etc The Mav is running OK except for the noise and I dont do much mileage, it has done me well for the 9 years I have had it, 2...

Hi Rick, This is the same gearbox we spoke about a few months ago Very loud whine when under load in 3rd gear Not much worse than then but I am planning on keeping the Mav so perhaps get it done later in the year

thanks

my gearbox is noisy Local gearbox shop says will die soon Labour to change £450 inc vat, need to find a box Where can I get a decent used box? Anyone got one?:bow:bow

Whoops Thanks for the update ,I did not know I was in the wrong group

Hi guys, my gearbox is making horrible noises and a local gearbox shop says its days are limited So I need either a good second hand or refurb one I have had a price to do the work locally [Canvey Island] which sounds reasonable [£450 inc vat] he says he will do it in a day, wow, I have changed...

A welding supply co near me sells all gasses BUT no rental charge, I only use my Mig once or twice a year and rentals over £100 a year was too much now I am not working and claiming it back, this firm AIR charged just over £100 for the bottle and contents, when empty just pay for a full one and...

On my motor bike I use a 40A diode between the two + poles so juice won't flow from the spare battery to the main The diode is a sorta one way valve, Both - poles are linked together, works a treat

Update The kit https://www.autoglym.com/headlight-restoration-kit everything you need except a power drill 1200-1600 RPM

just chucked out the 5 rear seats from my Maverick, been clogging up the workshop for several years Murphy again, chuck it out then find a use for it :doh :doh

There is a kit on the market, got some in the workshop, I will check it out later and post details, neighbour has Nissan sports car, worked well on his so I got a kit to use on my Honda scooter screen

Engine sorted Engine problem was mini filter Loads of black soft stuff on it, on the outside this time, I thought it usually clogged up inside, anyway pulls well now 4K in second no problem I will take Rick up on his offer, next year sometime I don't use it much so no panic. Thanks for all...

more woes and manual Hi Rick, thanks for the offer, I may well take you up on it Another fault has shown up, total lack of power, limped into a garage got £20 of diesel problem seemed to go away, but soon came back I changed the fuel filter Tuesday, engine started but ran rough, white smoke...

nuts What is the best way, engine out or from underneath? Either way looks past me, only done cars laying on my back under, I would probably get squashed if I tried that with Mav I will carry on until it expires

Hi Guys, Problem, managed to let box run out of oil, Squealing in 3rd gear Hard to get into second on way down Jumps out of gear on over run I had a look underneath, looks like the box will come out leaving the bell housing behind, hopefully I am right. I have done gearbox/bell housing out...

Thanks Rick, not sure if I can get a clamp in there, mole grip may get in there I will give it a try later today [Mon]

Thanks, My problem right now is how to snap the joint together It is pretty hard to do on the bench, cant get the leverage to do it on the car Or do I remove the wiper motor, assemble everything then thread it all through the holes? My current fix may not last long but I will need to know how...

The picture does not look like my old one which looks like a flat bar at each end with the centre being a 'C' shape, all one piece of metal My immediate problem is getting the old good joint pressed into place on the centre male ball [L/H] link I will have the same problem with a new joint so...
